labboypro said: I've tried 3 different Windows laptops on Staples site and each gives me the following message during checkout--

99279 $75 off any Windows Devices. Applied $0.00Coupon has not yet been applied.

Please make sure you have met the minimum purchase requirement.

Has anyone determined whether the "$75 coupon" works B&M/on-line with those Windows devices that have "Instant Coupon" in this week's circular as part of the advertised "sale" price?

Asus S200E-RHI3T73 11.6" Multitouch Touch Screen Laptop for $424.99 seems like a great deal for i3 and touch screen.

Two of the 3 laptops I tried to buy DID have "instant coupon" on them. I figured that was the problem until I tried some random "full price" laptop that had no additional offers on it... and I still got the same message as I posted above, at which point I posted to this thread. I had a similar "not working" coupon issue a few months ago that required some kind of mystery intervention by CS to resolve. They never told me what it was, but they did say that there was a problem in the system that was causing the coupon to not apply. Perhaps that same problem has hit me again (??).

10% is the employee discount, I don't know how else to get 10% at Staples. I'm seriously looking at picking up the L855-S5372 laptop. It is $487 in my store, minus my 10% and the $75 coupon puts it around $385 after tax for an i7 laptop.

http://www.staples.com/Toshiba-Satellite-C855D-S5359-156-Laptop/...Picked this up online but went out of stock waiting for the x to say she'd pay half for our kids birthday. Called local store (yeah i know but wasnt driving an hour for them to say coupon wont work or outta stock) bought and Out the door for $220 with tax. Configuring it now ... i hate windows 8 ... just saying.

I hated windows 8 at first too. There is some free methods to get it looking like windows 7, but for 5$ I found Start8 to be the best. I am by no means affiliated with them, but after a 30 day trial I will be recommending everyone who does not like the feel of Windows 8 to give the trial a try.

also considering that one...uniformly good reviews...some claim it could be had for 399 earlier (with a 100 off coupon)...does anyone know if shopdiscover's 5% for Staples includes computers?True -- I got one on that deal and love it. Was planning to resell but think I will keep it to cart around on the job. And no, shopdiscover does not work on computers (at least that's what they say), but AMEX business (Open) 5% does.

How's the Surface Pro? I Even with the coupons its a little rich for my blood, but I'm definitely keeping it in mind when new generations come out and these prices come down.

Just picked up the Samsung Series 3 with the instant coupon and the manager accepted the $75 coupon. A great deal.

Awesome tablet but I would recommend the 128GB version. Waiting for iFixit to do the teardown so I can replace the 64GB mSata SSD with a 256GB drive.

I may get a Surface Pro if it's as easy as it seems (i.e. Lenovo laptops - plug and play once you open it up). The Surface RT's hard drive is welded to the motherboard, so that's not promising.

Watch. Prices for mSATA drives will skyrocket once this little trick is found...buy one now? Hmm.

Yeah, that's my plan. $824 + tax for the Surface Pro 64GB version. So for $200 mSata SSD - resale of 64GB SSD on eBay (say maybe $50) ends up costing you less than the cost of the 128GB Surface Pro but twice the storage space. I need 256GB of space, 128GB is still not enough.

Funny though, they had the clearance tag kind of hidden by the laptops, but had none of these out for display. I hate HP laptops(I've worked on enough dvxxxx to know better) , but at 160$ with tax, I can't really afford to pass this up. Webcam looks nice, build quality was surprisingly nice as well.
